MPIF releases new standards

The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) has released two new standardised materials, recently balloted and approved by corporate voting members. The new materials designation and property data constitute an addendum to the 2003 edition of MPIF Standard 35, Material Standards for P/M Structural Parts, and are available as a free-access document on the MPIF Web site.

The new standards include physical and mechanical property information, chemical compositions and data tables for FLN2C-4005, a hybrid low-alloy steel (as-sintered and heat treated), and FLC-4805, a sinter-hardened steel. Hardenability and axial-fatigue data are provided for both materials.
The new standards are posted as Addendum 3-March 2006 Release on the Web site, joining two previously released Addenda (January 2005 and April 2005) that offer comparable information. These standards will all be included in the next printed edition of Standard 35, Structural.
